There are so many side effects from statin drugs, so now Big Pharma must be looking for new ways to market their pills. It is sad to see what all is pushed on the unsuspecting public.
Now Statins are supposed to prevent blood clots. Well I never had blood clots until about 9-12 month after taking Statins.Not to mention all the other side effects.
Folks need to take care of their health by eating a nutritious diet, exercising and not requesting their Dr prescribe every new pill that comes on the market.
Get Smart.

I read about this awhile ago but there are food substitutes for the pill read "the bonus years diet" it is a diet that is based on foods that contain the same ingredients as the pill but as they naturally exist in real foods.

Look at vitamin D. For most people, stroke, heart attack, some cancers, MS, type 1 diabetes, and maybe autism can be prevented by simply keeping vitamin D levels up through supplementation. A year's supply of the vitamin is only around $25. On top of these diseases, vitamin D has been shown to reduce bone loss, delay dementia, cure psoriasis and chronic pain; prevent colds, flu, TB, lupis and more. Check it out. Vitamin D deficiency is rampant and is responsible for a whole host of ills. Mom's to be take your vitamin D while pregnant and supplement your baby's diet with D.
